Exploring the Journey: From Explant Surgery to Self-Love and Empowered Healing

The Empowered Feminine With Ciara Foy

January was a profound month for me, marked not only by the turning of a new year but also by the life-altering decision to undergo explant surgery. The journey wasn't just about what was removed; it was a powerful affirmation of my commitment to living authentically and honouring my deepest values. Throughout this episode, I peel back the layers of my experience, revealing how the choice to focus on desires over fears can lead us through life's twists and turns with intention and strength. I invite you to walk with me as I recount the ways in which our mindset can be our greatest ally in navigating major health decisions and the stress that accompanies them.
Recovery is a story of the unexpected, and I'm opening the book on mine, from the unforeseen effects of caffeine-laced pain meds to the relief that comes when surgical drains are finally removed. My narrative continues with the practical aspects of healing, the medical advice that guided me, and the importance of listening to the nuances of our bodies. The conversation also delves into the medical choices that come with explant surgery, such as the decision to undergo a full en bloc capsulectomy, and how different medical opinions can greatly influence our healthcare journeys. Through my own surprisingly swift recovery, I unpack the contributing factors that allowed me to avoid muscle reconstruction, sharing insights that could support my path to wellness.
Healing, however, extends beyond the physical; it's an emotional odyssey that can lead to a profound sense of gratitude and self-love. At 47, I've discovered a deep reverence for my body that goes beyond the superficial, finding that self-care is truly about nurturing from the inside out. In this episode, I also choose to respect my journey by not sharing certain details, like my capsule photos, online. Yet, I'm eager to inspire you to make your health and happiness a lifelong commitment to cultivate pride, trust, and respect for your body. For those who are curious, I'm open to sharing more about my doctor's insights, hoping that my story might empower you to honor the sacredness of your own body and well-being.
